Daytime to Nighttime Skincare Routine to Diminish Dark Patches

As different as day and night! This adage could not be truer than for our morning and evening skincare routines. We know that just the thought of a mega-step regime is daunting. Doing it twice everyday may just want you to swear off beauty products forever. But, before you do anything of that sort, take a small step back and try to understand your skin and what it needs. Trust us, the key is to keep it as simple as possible. And, no,simple does not mean SPF and go

Before we get into what makes for simple, sustainable AM and PM skin routines, let's understand how and why they are different.

A daytime skincare routine nourishes and protects you from all that wears out and damages your skin from pollutants to harmful rays of the sun. A nighttime routine is to fortify the skin as it rests, with more efficacious active ingredients.

While the destination of both regimes is healthy, glowing skin minus dark patches, each uses separate routes to get there. Morning routines include fewer layers and lighter ingredients, textures to avoid blocking pores. Nighttime routines include products with photosensitive ingredients those that don't react well in the sun due to their potency and heaviness. Further, while there may be some common products within each routine for instance, a day cream and night cream, they may be formulated differently to help achieve the best results for supple, glowing skin.

With these basics in place, here is how you could build a skincare routine to reduce dark patches and achieve healthy, glowing skin.

Daytime Skincare Routine to Reduce Dark Patches

GOOD MORING!

Cleanse your skin of oils that accumulate on your skin from the previous night using a gentle facewash. This step helps clear away unnecessary obstructions in your pores, helping subsequent layers to seep in. Take care to ensure that your facewash does not have heavy ingredients - remember, photosensitivity. We use the POND'S Bright Beauty Foaming Facewash with Vitamin B3 for deep pore cleansing and a glow like never before!

Once your skin is clean, work in the first layer by way of a serum. As a formulation, serums are made of smaller molecules. This means serums go in deeper into your skin and truly work their magic inside out. For this step, we suggest using the newest introduction from POND'S the Bright Beauty Anti-Pigmentation Serum. This innovative serum is created with an advanced Gluta-Niacinamide Complex, which enables it to penetrate up to 10 layers deep into the skin. While doing so, the serum combats root causes of pigmentation and dark spots, revealing visibly even-toned complexion in two weeks.

Top this up by focusing on specific areas on your face that need care and attention. Our team swears by the POND'S Bright Beauty Serum Cream is a revolutionary solution brought to you by the renowned POND'S Institute. Containing Pro-vitamin B3, it is specifically designed to combat stubborn dark spots and reveal beautiful, spotless skin. Further the Bright Beauty Serum Cream contains SPF15 to help reduce sun-damage, as well as emollient ingredients that help keep the skin hydrated.  

Last but never the least Sunscreen! Did you know that tanning is not reversible? In most instances, it tends to leave behind uneven patches that can be challenging to get rid of. This along with hyperpigmentation, leave skin looking dull. Adding sunblock to your daily skincare regimen becomes imperative to prevent the penetration of the harsh UVA and UVB rays of the sun that would lead towards damaging the skin if not addressed at a young age. For the final step in your AM skincare routine, we recommend the POND'S Serum Boost Sunscreen range. It has been clinically proven to prevent and fade dark patches in 4 weeks. The Serum Boost Sunscreen range comes in a serum, gel and lightweight cream formulation infused with Niacinamide C to combat the harsh summer sun and its effects on skin.

BEAUTY SLEEP

Cleanse, but twice. Double cleansing every night helps to pull out the dirt and grime, oil, makeup as well as remnants of products from your AM routine. This ensures that the following layers of your evening routine are applied on fresh, clean skin. If you have sensitive skin, skip the second round though.

After you have freshened up your skin, bring back the POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Pigmentation Serum from your morning routine. Infused with 12% Gluta Niacinamide Complex, this serum is a skin essential if you are looking for a definitive solution against dark spots and pigmentation.

Follow this up with the POND'S Age Miracle Wrinkle Corrector Night Cream With Retinol. While ageing is inevitable, the POND'S Age Miracle range reduces visible signs like wrinkles and spots on your skin. With a higher concentration of Retinol-C Complex, Vitamin B3, Vitamin E3 acetate, and added glycerine, POND'S Age Miracle Wrinkle Corrector Night Cream helps you get that youthful glow by working hard to repair your damaged skin, while you rest.

The most important step in your night-time routine is a good nights sleep. Adults do need 7-9 hours of sleep to thrive. While we sleep, our bodies and our skin, work to recharge and replenish.

Wake up, and repeat.

Here's to a beautiful day!
